Specifically engineered as a non-CPU rack, this hardware is the cornerstone for implementing distributed I\/O architectures over extended plant floor distances. By removing processing overhead locally, this baseplate handles data expansion up to 700 feet away from the master controller. Built into a highly rigid structural frame, this baseplate has a physical net weight of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1.15 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring a stable, low-vibration mounting foundation for all connected high-density modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #003366;
